No, 2.0.0 I think. I want 2.0.2[0-9] or so for that :-)
And it Oopses on the exec call from bash. Strange.

Dear All,
I've just spent a few days configuring my Debian (bleeding edge rex)
box to give me local multiuser email/Usenet on a dynamic IP dialup
service to my local University modem pool.
The experience has prompted some thought as to how some of this
configuration could be merged back into Debian. I'll describe what I
did to each relevant package at the end of this message.
What do people think about reserving an init run level for dialup
hosts? Is this inappropriate? Is this a hammer to crack a nut? Or
could it standardise a method whereby daemons would be aware of a
valid Internet connection or not? Is it best to leave things in
/etc/ppp/ip_{up|down}?
I don't pretend to be a Unix expert, but it's an idea I thought may
merit more discussion.
bind 4.9.4-P1-1
The postinst calls update-rc.d with the default flags. I don't want
bind running unless I have an active Internet link. I've removed the
links from the /etc/rc.?/ directories and call `/etc/init.d/bind start`
from /etc/ppp/ip_up, and `... stop` from /etc/ppp/ip_down.
suck 3.2.1-2
What a great package! I only needed to change /etc/sucknewsrc and add
a call to `/usr/sbin/get-news` from /etc/ppp/ip_up
inn 1.4unoff4-1
Usual fighting with configuration! Works a charm now.
sendmail 8.7.6-1
Masquerades as a University domain, and added some rewriting rules to
change local user addresses to external ones (S51). I've a small patch
for /usr/lib/sendmail.cf/mailer/smtp.m4 to add these rules, but it's
specific, and really should be using macro replacement to allow
configuration in sendmail.mc. (Thanks to Stephen Tweedie
<sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> for this hack.)
apache 1.1.1-5
Thought about seeing if it would act as an 'off-line proxy cache'.
Seems it will require some hacking of the source. Has anyone heard if
this is on the todo list of the apache developers?
fetchmail 1.5 (local)
Eric Raymond's (http://www.ccil.org/~esr) successor to popclient et
al. which I've hacked to allow delivery to different local users. It
uses IMAP, POP, etc to retrieve messages from a remote server, and
delivers them locally by SMTP.
